“Electroadda”
Religione Catodica
is the new album of
Bangarang!, a concept album about
the last sixty years of
Italian television. The
vocals are replaced
by sampler, shooting
out of context sentences in the background
of instrumental songs that blend rock, funk
and punk. Castro caro is the opening song,
a rugged rock sound very rich of guitar,
with lyrical fragments and other mixed
voices, with an effect of alienation that will
not leave the listener until the end of the
album. Nano armata opens with police
radio frequencies for a speech that of the
detective stories also welcomes the ways.
Quieter is Fuck Hero, at least at first, then
the song undergoes a sudden acceleration. We proceed with Genitalia, which is
expressed on rugged rock tones. Quieter
ais the funk rhythm of Melisatalpé while
Freaky Metal deals with increasing level
of intensity. With Matzurka Zeta we descend closer to progressive. Pocoto Pocoto gets to more restless and more acidic
harmonies sounds, here and there. And if
Skrillex leads to clear signs of Italian cinema soundtracks, with Roberto we close on
very serious and gloomy tones. There are
stretches of originality in the album which
highlights all its instrumental virtues getting routes to travel at very high speeds.
Sometimes you work on something for years without getting to anything of substantial. And then, behold, the spark there is
and everything comes to life: Milan electrorock duo Electroadda publish its self-titled
debut after a knowledge and collaboration
dated 2004. The first song of the album is
A Better Life, marked by a round of very
consistent synth and voice that stands up
to sing the ethereal situations. Star girl
instead starts with guitar, with widespread
blues feelings and a very strong and determined drumming. Instrumental evolutio
